Default RKS made me do it

After 12+ years of riding a 2000 Low Rider and countless test rides of various HD models.....The looks and test ride of a RKS convinced me to buy a new bike. Unfortunately the Rinehart slip-ons are 7-10 days out and the backrest upright (got to take my boys out for rides) is back ordered for 7 days. Couldn't wait, so I picked the bike up last night...

Congratulations!

What impact will the Rineharts have on the Warranty?

According to my dealer....none. They said it did not matter which slip-ons I went with either. To get a little more grumble they were recommending Rineharts or V&H. Chose Rineharts as they seem to have a little deeper tone. Good to have some change as my LR had V&H

Great choice in Bikes.... but I'm a bit biased




Love my Rinehart Slipsons... however over time I am noticing less low end rumble and more snapping bark... therefore I have reached out to forum members to help me get the lower sound I want.. Going catless headpipe, stage 2 cam / Highflow A/C and Tuner this summer


Enjoy your RKS.. you couldn't have selected a better new bike

There are 3 dealers within 30 minutes of me. All, including my dealer, are selling more than a handful of choices for non-HD aftermarket slip-ons (Rineharts, Bassani DNTs, and so on). Hasn't it been established ad nauseum that slip-ons won't void the warranty? Or am I missing something?

Congrats on the new ride, beautiful scoot for sure! After 114 years, the moco has learned a thing or 2

Ya, but too bad they didn't apply that to installing better suspension then they still are. Don't get me wrong, the new suspension is better then before, but a long way from being anywhere near high quality for comfort.
